Here is a modest list of the fonts I have been using along my 15 years of coding/programming. If you read those lines, I assume you are looking for a good font which is pleasant to code with, easy to read with distinct characters (ex: O / 0 or l / I ).

Consolas

It’s my go to when I’m on a Windows box and don’t have not enough time to spend on the configuration of new fonts. As this font is installed by default on Windows since Win7 it’s really handy. For example, when I need to fix a server or whatever using SSH, I just select it directly into PuTTY and that’s it — No fuss. I also used it a lot during my high school and college period however I don’t think I would be able to code every day with it now as I would get tired of it pretty quickly. Have seen this one way too much, everywhere.

Sample

Source Code Pro

Source Code Pro is another nice font I’ve used for a long time. It’s an open-source font created by Adobe.
